CVE-2009-5081 1 Gnu 1 Groff 2023-12-10 3.3 LOW N/A
The (1) config.guess, (2) contrib/groffer/perl/groffer.pl, and (3) contrib/groffer/perl/roff2.pl scripts in GNU troff (aka groff) 1.21 and earlier use an insufficient number of X characters in the template argument to the tempfile function, which makes it easier for local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0969.
CVE-2009-5080 1 Gnu 1 Groff 2023-12-10 3.3 LOW N/A
The (1) contrib/eqn2graph/eqn2graph.sh, (2) contrib/grap2graph/grap2graph.sh, and (3) contrib/pic2graph/pic2graph.sh scripts in GNU troff (aka groff) 1.21 and earlier do not properly handle certain failed attempts to create temporary directories, which might allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a file in a temporary directory, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-1296.
CVE-2009-5079 1 Gnu 1 Groff 2023-12-10 3.3 LOW N/A
The (1) gendef.sh, (2) doc/fixinfo.sh, and (3) contrib/gdiffmk/tests/runtests.in scripts in GNU troff (aka groff) 1.21 and earlier allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a gro#####.tmp or /tmp/##### temporary file.
CVE-2009-5078 2 Apple, Gnu 2 Mac Os X, Groff 2023-12-10 6.4 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
contrib/pdfmark/pdfroff.sh in GNU troff (aka groff) before 1.21 launches the Ghostscript program without the -dSAFER option, which allows remote attackers to create, overwrite, rename, or delete arbitrary files via a crafted document.
CVE-2009-5044 2 Apple, Gnu 2 Mac Os X, Groff 2023-12-10 3.3 LOW N/A
contrib/pdfmark/pdfroff.sh in GNU troff (aka groff) before 1.21 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a pdf#####.tmp temporary file.
CVE-2009-5082 2 Gnu, Openwall 2 Groff, Owl 2023-12-10 3.3 LOW N/A
The (1) configure and (2) config.guess scripts in GNU troff (aka groff) 1.20.1 on Openwall GNU/*/Linux (aka Owl) improperly create temporary files upon a failure of the mktemp function, which makes it easier for local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.
CVE-2004-0969 3 Gentoo, Gnu, Ubuntu 3 Linux, Groff, Ubuntu Linux 2023-12-10 2.1 LOW N/A
The groffer script in the Groff package 1.18 and later versions, as used in Trustix Secure Linux 1.5 through 2.1, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
CVE-2000-0803 1 Gnu 1 Groff 2023-12-10 10.0 HIGH N/A
GNU Groff uses the current working directory to find a device description file, which allows a local user to gain additional privileges by including a malicious postpro directive in the description file, which is executed when another user runs groff.
CVE-2002-0003 1 Gnu 1 Groff 2023-12-10 7.5 HIGH N/A
Buffer overflow in the preprocessor in groff 1.16 and earlier allows remote attackers to gain privileges via lpd in the LPRng printing system.
CVE-2001-1022 2 Gnu, Jgroff 2 Groff, Jgroff 2023-12-10 7.5 HIGH N/A
Format string vulnerability in pic utility in groff 1.16.1 and other versions, and jgroff before 1.15, allows remote attackers to bypass the -S option and execute arbitrary commands via format string specifiers in the plot command.
CVE-2004-1296 1 Gnu 1 Groff 2023-12-10 2.1 LOW N/A
The (1) eqn2graph and (2) pic2graph scripts in groff 1.18.1 allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
